Are you the interviewer or the interviewee?

Just schedule time off,… use it or lose it…. I have to use eleven days before 5/31,… and I will still carry over time.

Mostly four day weeks for two months. Guess I need an excuse not to do things at home now.

Interesting -

Back up will continue.. But am able to access the whole of the system tonight. I've not done anything except ignore it as I've been quite tired.

I'll take it. I wanted to move to a nextCloud instance running on Proxmox anyway.. but - data recovery is a good thing.

I do have a “backup” but, looks like it’s a month or so old.

This is where you screwed up...

You know what they say about people and glass houses?

@travisdh1

It’s been a while since I did a file transfer via CLI, but it’s a starting point.

I did think about sourcing a donor system to swap drives into. But possible killing the array.

I do have a “backup” but, looks like it’s a month or so old. Likely the last one the system was successful with.

The sad part is that connecting any USB drive ‘halts’ the system but it recovers when removed. That would be one path to back up files…

“It’s, always, something,…”

This is to document for myself and should anyone else need.

Unable to access my storage shares the last bit, rebooting does not resolve. Rebooting takes upwards of four hours to complete.

While had been able to access, now cannot. GUI does respond, but none of the user accounts seem to work. Am able to sign in local as root.

While no errors were on the status page when I was able to access, suspect the system is reaching end of life. End of product life happened some time ago.

Am able to interact with SYSLINUX from the unit directly, it has HDMI and USB ports.
However I ‘lose’ response when I plug in any USB drive.

Am able to ssh, so the system isn’t totaled just yet. I can view the shares, and can ping.

While not ready to build a Nextcloud instance on the Proxmox system yet, I am thinking I should be able to recover the data.

Next step:
Create share
Mount share to NAS
Cli copy data from NAS to another computer as backup

@gjacobse If you open PM, select "Print Servers" > Expand the server > Select "Ports" and then select Export you'll get the port details (ip, WSD etc) into a txt file.

I see now- interesting.

Under the print server you have:
*Drivers
*Forms
*Ports
*Printers

That should be exactly what I needed.

Thank you - not in the office and really don't feel connecting to the VPN tonight. But that is likely what I was looking for, but missing.

I can do this with Powershell, no problem. So Powershell is not the solution.

On this print server I do not have permissions. But I can see printers via Print Management.

Export doesn’t include the IP, the critical item I need for this research.

Can you make PM do this- not seeing any options to select fields.

Annnd- the printer is already working... not that THAT is any issues...

@DustinB3403

The ZD621 are about $525 a piece.... As for 3d Printing one,.. sure,.. if I had a STL file to work from,.. and no - I have not looked as of yet. Likely not to find one.

The one parts kit I found is about $40,.. but they are out of stock, the other one I found gave me feelings of TEMU - so - no.

Most likely won’t use a Zebra printer, but with shipping thousands of boxes a day, we have a small fleet of them.

Media holder broke and Zebra wants $300 for a plastic part that is rather small.

Any thoughts on a USAC source for parts? This is all I need:

@CCWTech
Silly question but,…..
20,000 iptv channels? How do you find anything?
At 10sec a channel that 35min to cycle through them,… ( if my math is anywhere to being close, which it doesn’t seem to be,… I don’t math )

Google search with some possible options

Google Search: proxmox ups

In all the Proxmox discussions, I can't say that I have heard or seen anything regarding the use of the UPS,.. Tripplite or APC or other.

I have only done a little searching regarding this and having seen much as of yet, but sometimes it's about the keyword order of the search.

Is there any pointed documentation on how to establish UPS support / power down on a Proxmox node. While mine isn't 'production' grade or priority, it would be nice to know that my node will power down properly over just shutting down with the battery is depleted.

System time is generally viewed as UTC Time - which I can understand for standardization.
Will have to 'adjust' my expectations.

I recently noticed that the time is off on my Proxmox system. So, as I come here for most all things Linux, starting this so I can come back later should I forget or lose my documentation:

timedatectl

              NTP service: active

RTC appears to be correct, but the local time is not.

@CCWTech said in Suggestions for an IPTV player for Ubuntu:

IPTV

I don't have any experience with IPTV,.. but a fast search did mention Kodi.. have it looked into that? I have run it on a Raspberry Pi as a media device in the car when the kids were younger to play movies.

I may have an account I have forgotten about
But I continue to use local only. I believe they call it an “Offline Account”
